Greetings. I have a few tables that I am bringing data from, but I found a bug in my logic, which I am trying to see if I can make it work. Please look at this scenario
create table t (n INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, a, b, c, d, e, idate); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p001', 'a', 1, 'n', 4, '2019-02-11'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p002', 'a', 1, 'n', 4, '2019-02-11'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p003', 'a', 2, 'n', 4, '2019-02-11'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p004', 'a', 2, 'y', 4, '2019-02-11'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p005', 'a', 3, 'y', 4, '2019-02-11'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p001', 'a', 4, 'n', 4, '2019-02-12'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p002', 'a', 5, 'n', 4, '2019-02-12'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p003', 'a', 6, 'n', 4, '2019-02-12'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p004', 'a', 7, 'y', 4, '2019-02-12'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p005', 'a', 8, 'y', 4, '2019-02-12'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p001', 'a', 3, 'n', 4, '2019-02-13'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p002', 'a', 4, 'n', 4, '2019-02-13'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p003', 'a', 5, 'n', 4, '2019-02-13'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p004', 'a', 6, 'y', 4, '2019-02-13'); insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p005', 'a', 7, 'y', 4, '2019-02-13'); select * from t; create table z (n INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, f, g, h, i, j, idate); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p001', 'b', 6, 'o', 4, '2019-02-15'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p002', 'b', 6, 'o', 4, '2019-02-15'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p003', 'b', 6, 'i', 4, '2019-02-15'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p004', 'a', 9, 'i', 4, '2019-02-16'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p005', 'a', 8, 'u', 4, '2019-02-16'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p001', 'a', 8, 'u', 4, '2019-02-17'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p002', 'a', 5, 'e', 4, '2019-02-17'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p003', 'a', 7, 'e', 4, '2019-02-17'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p004', 'a', 7, 'b', 4, '2019-02-17'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p005', 'a', 3, 'b', 4, '2019-02-18'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p001', 'a', 3, 'a', 4, '2019-02-18'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p002', 'a', 3, 'a', 4, '2019-02-18'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p003', 'a', 5, 'a', 4, '2019-02-18'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p004', 'a', 6, 'o', 4, '2019-02-18'); insert into z (f, g, h, i, j, idate) values ('p005', 'a', 7, 'o', 4, '2019-02-18'); select * from z; I can do this, select a.*, b.* from t as a join z as b on a.a = b.f where a.a = 'p001' AND a.idate = (select max(idate) from t where a = a.a) AND b.idate = (select max(idate) from z where f = a.a) ORDER BY a.a ; and get the correct output, 11|p001|a|3|n|4|2019-02-13|11|p001|a|3|a|4|2019-02-18 without any problem. But, when I do this, insert into t (a, b, c, d, e, idate) values ('p006', 'e', 8, 'n', 5, '2019-03-01'); and then do this, select a.*, b.* from t as a join z as b on a.a = b.f where a.a = 'p006' AND a.idate = (select max(idate) from t where a = a.a) AND b.idate = (select max(idate) from z where f = a.a) ORDER BY a.a ; I get nothing. I know why, but what will save my logic is, to be able to fix the query above and get something like this, 16|p006|e|8|n|5|2019-03-01||||||| in other words, NULL values instead. This will fix my "logic". :-) and the world will be at peace again. :-) Is this even possible?
